Indie game developer, beer brewer, ukulele player.
It’s really fucking stupid that I have to say this, but since the whole nintendo thing is going on here goes:
Let’s Play/youtube folks, please play my games. I love you, your videos, and the feedback you give me. Do whatever advertising you want on your videos, after all you put the work into them.
I would request (but not demand) that if you use one of my games you give a courtesy link back to my blog or the game’s page if it has one.
First look at having a pilot’s body in First Law. Huge addition in terms of immersion!
A new video of my game First Law! I also released the first public demo for anyone who has an Oculus Rift, you can get it at http://rjevans.net/firstlaw
Early combat footage from First Law my April #1gam and first project for the Oculus Rift. The sense of immersion is insane. Hoping to ship a small combat sim by the end of the month, and add some missions into the game next month.

For my January #1gam, I wanted to do something that’d be both small in scope and something that I hadn’t really done before. Based on a joke that my friend John made about Call of Duty always being abbreviated ‘CoD’ on the internet, I decided to make a first person shooter where all of your enemy are fish.
A lot of the ‘joke’ is how I feel about the standard FPS single player campaigns. Short, not terribly interesting, and completely over the top with their story elements.
From a development perspective this was actually a lot of fun to work on, even if I spent way more time on it in January than I ever anticipated to. I had never made anything like a FPS before, and I had never had any sort of scripted elements in a shipped game before, and this let me try out both of those things.
Things I had wanted to do that I ended up cutting in the interest of time:
In retrospect I think any more levels probably would have taken too long to play, and the joke frankly gets a bit old by the end of it. The 10-15m it takes to play through now seems sufficient.
